The one thing this trailer really brought to mind is how long this story has been going on. Even if we don’t include the original games (the first of which was in 1987!) which are canon, from Metal Gear Solid to the Phantom Pain: that’s four console generations! That is nuts. Nothing else in any other medium (except,…

With regards to the title: Studio Ghibli films are already pretty messed up. I had a recurring nightmare with a live-action Spirit of the Forest for years after seeing Princess Monoke. I love that movie, but a deer with an essentially human face? Great design. But NOPE. Extremely damaging to my young psyche.

I think it might be humanly impossible to not like Rick and Morty. All those who dislike that show must be bureaucrats.

And: Sold!

I should have capitalized it. Would have made the brand stronger. Maybe “Qrk” or “Quark™” in the future. Gotta start strong.

Good for them. Someone send me a quark when they beat another boss. What’s a quark you say? It’s the form of communication I speculate we’ll be using by the time they reach the Taurus demon.

I just learned how to use Twitter.

Some ships have lifetime insurance, so backers who did dig deep will not loose their ships permanently—though this system hasn’t been fully expanded upon yet—, and, on the other side, expensive ships do not equal skill. It will be interesting to see how things play out, but pay-to-win doesn’t seem like the appropriate…

Seems like the list is pretty set in stone at the moment though: FPS, Multicrew, Social, Persistent Universe, Squadron 42. Pretty much everything that is happening now has been in the pipeline for the past two years. The real issue is that in order for this game to achieve what it wants everything has to be…

You know, I remember getting stuck hard on a few of the larger battles and I can’t recall what I ended up doing to get through them. For me the first giant mech was the worst of it, and in the end it was just patience and a lot of dashing—the former seemingly antithetical to the general style of the game, but do what…

For some reason these really make me want another Vanquish game, but larger scale mechs—or heavier mechs all around.

I don’t understand.

Yes, but that would require dismissing the magic of the memes and the hyperbole surrounding Dark Souls’ difficulty.

The answer:

More, Jason. Just give us more.

Jason, this is my favorite weekend ever on Kotaku. Keep it coming.

I wish someone would bring those games to the PSN. I’d love to play the second game.

My friends and I all picked up copies about two months ago and we had an unbelievably fun time. And once we discovered the voice changer for the monster we all absolutely fucking lost it. Damned is an incredible game to play with people who know how you think.
